Dresden - Police in the eastern German city of Dresden
are investigating the discovery of 17 hand grenades in a sports
utility vehicle parked near the city's central train station, police
said on Tuesday.
Two men, aged 17 and 28, have been detained in relation to the
incident.
Police inspected the vehicle late on Monday after an officer noticed
it was parked illegally. The two men turned out to be natives of
Bosnia-Herzegovina and were taken into custody while police checked
to see if they were legally in Germany.
An initial search of the car turned up some drugs, so a sniffer dog
was brought in. The dog found no further drugs, but uncovered the
hand grenades, hidden behind some panels.
The area around the car was blocked off and the grenades were taken
for inspection to see if they still posed a threat.
Authorities say they have no leads on why the men had the explosives
in their car.
